That's heartening to hear, I'm a firm believer that the best way to eliminate these undesirable behaviors is to remove the financial incentive to do so. That said, as far as I can tell, this solution doesn't seem to get to what (in my completely layman understanding) is the heart of the problem, which is number spoofing. Even if every number is registered to an owner who has vetted their campaign with the carriers, if someone can "pretend" to be someone else's number, it seems to circumvent that whole system.
Really stressing that I have absolutely no knowledge of telephony networking, I think of this like IP spoofing. If this new system don't include some authentication credentials attached to each campaign, it doesn't seem to ensure that the entity sending a message/call from a given phone number is indeed the "owner" of that phone number.
